The dark black bead of the night stared intently at the handsome face before him, admiring the thick eyebrow strokes and stern jaws that the man had. Huang Miaoling had no idea how long it had been since the last time Liang Fenghong had fallen asleep so soundly. However, no matter how much he touched the man's face, Liang Fenghong did not wake up and his breathing was still so calm, completely unperturbed.
Successfully putting the man to sleep, Huang Miaoling immediately got out of bed and put on his clothes. Feeling that her clothes were too thin, she covered her night clothes in a black robe that belonged to her husband.
Before leaving the room, Huang Miaoling turned his head back, making sure Liang Fenghong was still asleep quietly. “I'll be back,” whispered gently.
After carefully closing the door, Huang Miaoling turned around, finding a beautiful view of the courtyard before him. With a number of shady trees and flowering shrubs on several sides, the place made the woman's eyebrows intertwine.
‘Where is this?’ inner Huang Miaoling as he stepped out of the terrace and down the courtyard. He was certain that it was not Huang's residence, Liang's residence, nor Fengzhi Suo's.
“Ah!” Suddenly, Huang Miaoling heard a gasp. He turned his gaze and stared intently at the one figure standing near the courtyard gate. “Nona!” summon a figure with a wrinkled forehead that voiced his age, tears streaming down his face.
Once aware of the identity of the figure, Huang Miaoling's expression softened, “Xiang Momo?” That second too, the woman instantly knew her place was, ‘This .. Jingcheng.’

After meeting Xiang Momo—one of Liang Siya's old maids at Jingcheng—Huang Miaoling ended up cleaning herself. The old woman forced him to change his clothes to be more polite, also putting on a little makeup on his face. There was no chance for Huang Miaoling to refuse.
As Xiang Momo tidied up her hair, Huang Miaoling asked, “How long has it been since I arrived here?” He started with the simplest question.
Xiang Momo had been accompanying Liang Siya for a long time, and her mind quickly processed the curiosity of her young miss—ah, she still could not believe Huang Miaoling had become a mistress. “Two days,” answer. “Great General arrived three days earlier than you.”
“What?” Huang Miaoling frowned. “Dad is here?!”
Suddenly, the door of the room opened, making Xiang Momo and Huang Miaoling turn their heads quickly. “Mrs!” shouted the girl who appeared from behind the door.
Huang Miaoling immediately stood up from his chair. “Qiuyue!” he shouted while capturing Qiuyue's tiny body that crashed towards him.
Huang Miaoling's heart skipped a beat, so excited. From the beginning, he was confident that his people must have survived at least, he believed the previously prepared plan was able to ensure the safety of most people. However, Huang Miaoling still felt so relieved when he saw for himself the person he loved!
“Because you're here, is everyone also in Jingcheng?” huang Miaoling asked, ignoring Xiang Momo who slipped a konde on her hair expertly.
The smile on Qiuyue's face dimmed at his master's question. He released a hug and looked at Huang Miaoling wistfully.
Huang Miaoling's Eyebrows. “How about the two sisters-in-law? What about my brothers?” The woman bit her lips, previously not daring to ask Liang Fenghong this when she saw the man's troubled expression. “Who survived?”
The first Qiuyue mentioned was clearly a member of the Huang family, the “First, Fifth, and Sixth Young Masters were in Jingcheng, they were in the defense center of Jingcheng city along with the Great Elders and Generals.”
Hearing Qiuyue's remark, Huang Miaoling felt more and more questions piled up in his mind. ‘Father really in Jingcheng ..’ Inner.
Then, Qiuyue continued to mention the Liang family, “All members of the Liang family also managed to escape, they were in the West courtyard of the residence.”
“Prime Minister Liang is also in Jingcheng?” huang Miaoling.
Qiuyue shook his head, “No, Mistress.” Knowing that Huang Miaoling questioned the man's whereabouts, the girl explained, “I've already asked about what happened, but no one has told me about what happened. All always say that only ... Master knows this.”
‘Master?’ inner Huang Miaoling. ‘A Feng?’ he thought with his eyebrows linked. Strange, but there was a radiance of fear from Qiuyue's eyes when mentioning Liang Fenghong's matter. ‘Maybe ...’ Huang Miaoling closed his eyes, then asked, “Other one?”
Just now Qiuyue wanted to reply, Xiang Momo first mentioned succinctly, “The Wei and Situ families are not in Jingcheng, the First Young Master ordered them to go to Yongxian city. A number of Huang family troops accompanied them.” The old woman added, “Only Prime Minister Situ and Chairman Wei reside in Jingcheng.”
Without needing to ask, Huang Miaoling understood the purpose of Huang Yade placing the Wei and Situ families in Yongxian. It was based on his first brother's concern about Wang Chengliu's willingness to attack Jingcheng. If war were to really happen, it would be better for those who did not have the ability to fight to avoid going to a safer place.
Xiang Momo continued, “The royal family is in the mayor's residence, which is larger than Huang's residence in Jingcheng.” For a moment, the woman stopped. “Only Princess Wu Meilan lives here, together with Miss Liang.”
Seeing the concerned radiance from Xiang Momo's eyes when talking about Wu Meilan, Huang Miaoling felt his heart racing. ‘Something ... happened in Wu. What besides Empress Tianzhen, Emperor Huatai also—’
“Ahh!”
Before Huang Miaoling finished his own inner speech, the sound of a woman's cry blew away his focus. He and the two servants inside the room immediately turned their heads towards the door.
“Where is he?!” shouting someone with an angry voice, it sounded so terrifying to anyone who heard it.
Huang Miaoling frowned, ‘That voice ...’
